Supports fit-to-width view, but otherwise flawedComic Zeal is a rather quirky program. I've read the documentation, but still find it's user interface somewhat byzantine and unresponsive. However, it has a full feature-set that includes a comics organization scheme that should satisfy most everyone. Most important for me, however, is the support of a fit-to-width view. Every other comic viewer I tried insisted on shrinking the page to fit the screen and in the process wasted precious screen real estate on black borders. The modern comic form-factor, however, can be displayed very nicely on the iPad's 4:3 aspect screen with just an inch or so of scrolling at the bottom of the page. The additional scrolling doesn't bother me, though. For me, that's preferable over having a smaller page render that's slightly harder to read in the fit-to-screen view.
Pros: Fit-to-wdth, comprehensive organization scheme, supports iTunes File Sharing nicely.
Cons: Interface takes some getting used to. Page-turning doesn't always trigger.

Great. But lacks optimal features.Seriously, I can't seem to find one really full app for comics. It's just incredible. My problems with Comic Zeal? Three.
1- Why can't I make custom bookmarks. Very important feature?
2- Why does the "page browser" can't show a little preview of the page, just like far cheaper apps like Bookman do? How am I supposed to find a specific page on the comic?
3- And why do I have to give a swipe the size of the world to turn a page? This is a serious issue, since it makes turning pages with the thumbs a and tiring task.
Man, I can't believe every single comic reading app lacks one or two major things that simply transform them from awesome to annoying. Frustrating.
Gets a 3 'cause the app is actually good. Just not as good as it should be.

Hate the updateWhat used to take seconds (organizing the comics into folders ) now takes what feels like hours. Instead of tapping multiple issues and deleting or moving them all at once a la IBooks, now we have to swipe individual issues. And the import process is sloppy-issues go here there and everywhere and have to be hunted down...and swiped individually multiple times. Deleting is a pain. Reordering is a nightmare. Sure it looks spiffy but it's become like Facebook - changing for image versus utility. Wish I had kept the older version.

Favorite appIf u want to read comics this app is the one to buy, the latest update took some tinkering with but the help menu was really well designed. The slider bar is innovative and easy to use. I recommend this app to the few people I know who own an iPad and read comics. Keep up the good work.
